6 bedroom end of terrace house

This is an attractive end terraced villa which provides ideal family accommodation in one of the most sought-after streets in Morningside. The location is peaceful and leafy, yet within easy walking distance of the shops and restaurants in Morningside. This handsome house has been a much-loved home to the same family for many years. Now in need of refurbishment, the property offers a wonderful opportunity for buyers looking to create their own perfect home. The combination of flexible accommodation, generous back garden, large garage and private off-street parking makes this a very appealing property in a prime south side location.
The ground floor provides all of the living and entertaining space, consisting of a substantial sitting room to the front, and the dining room and kitchen to the back. The sitting room has a large bay window and beautiful period details, including impressive wooden flooring throughout. The dining room is well proportioned and sits adjacent to the kitchen. From here, there is access to a large utility room and separate WC, which then takes you directly to the private garden.
A beautiful staircase, crowned by a cupola, leads to the first floor. The large, principal bedroom is to the front of the house. Formerly the drawing room, this room has high ceilings, intricate cornice work, parquet flooring and a bay window which floods the room with natural light. Also on this floor are two further double bedrooms, a family bathroom and a shower room.
On the second floor are three further double bedrooms, benefitting from magnificent views over Edinburgh towards Corstorphine Hill and beyond. Completing the internal accommodation there is a substantial snooker room on the lower ground floor, again offering ample room to modify, along with an equally large storage/cellar and WC.
Outside, the property benefits from a garage as well as private off-street parking.
